[H-GEN] Videoing HUMBUG talks

[David Harrison]

My understanding (please correct me if i'm wrong) is that OGG is just
a container format, which can contain either Vorbis (audio) or Theora
(video), or some combination of the two (...and probably other
video/audio codec combinations as well).

I don't know if there's a standard or convention for naming of OGG
files if they're video only or audio only so they're easily
identifiable; just having a look at some OGG stuff that i've got and
it appears to use the extension indiscriminately.
